Chapter 446: Back
Several people sat up straight and looked at her attentively: "Sister, please continue."
Wen Zhenyi didn't keep them in suspense: "It's very easy to distinguish the sexes of seahorses and pipefish. Males have a ventral pouch (commonly known as a brood pouch), while females don't."
Little Abu's face was filled with surprise: "So the father gave birth to the child and raised the child?"
"You could say that."
"If I have the chance, I really want to see this amazing animal. What does it look like?"
"It has a somewhat long snout and a curved head, almost at right angles to its body, resembling a horse's head."
Zhongli Zhuang couldn't imagine what this thing was: "Is it a fish?"
"It belongs to the fish category."
“It’s really strange.”
Wen Yongman: "Is the sea dangerous?"
"Danger, there are too many unknown dangers. Behind these dangers, there are also continents and civilizations that we have not discovered."
Zhongli Zhuang thought of something: "Are you talking about those people who traveled across the ocean?"
"Yes, they risked their lives to come here and bring back things that were not available in their land in exchange for high prices of gold and silver."
“Don’t they make a lot of money?”
"You see they made a lot of money, but in this sea, they also buried many ships that wanted to explore the ocean."
"Why?"
"The sea is full of dangerous marine life, as well as hidden reefs that you cannot see. Once your ship hits a reef, it will be in danger of sinking. In the vast ocean, you will also be swallowed up."
Little Abu pondered, "No wonder every time we go out, we are always led by experienced people."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him and said, "It's not just reefs, there are also whirlpools, tsunamis, and tornadoes. Each of them can make them go without return. Without experienced sailors leading you, you won't be able to complete these long journeys."
The stories they told attracted quite a few people, who stood at the door and listened to Wen Zhenyi tell stories they had never seen or heard before.
Wen Yongman thought for a moment: "Is there no danger on land?"
"Of course there are. I won't mention jackals, tigers, and leopards, as you all know them. There are also some natural disasters you may not be familiar with, such as floods and droughts. I believe you are all familiar with them. There are also earthworms, mudslides, and so on."
"Every natural disaster is a test for humanity, and prevention has become the most important test of human survival."
Zhongli Zhuang looked at Wen Zhenyi. She had always been curious about why Wen Zhenyi established the One Star Academy to teach more than just reading and writing.
Instead, he taught the children the principle that there are thirty-six trades, and each of them has its top talent.
She wants to pass on everything so that they can make breakthroughs based on the work of their predecessors and create a stronger future for future generations.
She really envied her existence in this country. She hoped that when Xiao Abu returned to Yuncang, he could bring her ideas back with him.
Make Yuncang Kingdom even more powerful.
Ma Yinghe came to call them to dinner and found that these people were gathered here: "What's going on?"
The maids hurriedly dispersed: "Madam, we were just listening to the young lady's story and were fascinated by it."
When Wen Zhenyi saw Ma Yinghe coming, he stood up and pulled the two children with him: "Mom, why are you here?"
"I'm here to call you to dinner."
"We're coming."
"What story are you telling them? Look, they've been standing there for a long time listening to it."
"It's not really a story, just something they don't know."
"You have some weird ideas in your head."
While Chef Fan was waiting for them to eat, he secretly ran over to take a look, wanting to see if what he had cooked was to their taste.
Chen Hanxing looked up and saw him hiding furtively by the door: "Yi Yi, what's wrong with Chef Fan?"
Wen Zhenyi took a sip of the soup, which was moderately salty and sweet. "This soup tastes good."
"I think it's pretty good too. Chef Fan's cooking skills have improved rapidly." Zhongli Zhuang nodded with satisfaction.
"The dishes today are all delicious." Shen Xiucai stroked his beard.
Wen Chengwen smiled and said, "I think it's delicious too. I think Chef Fan is ready to become a chef."
When Chef Fan heard the praise outside the door, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Wen Zhenyi let the two children eat with their own spoons. Although they would scoop food everywhere, they didn't care.
The stools they sit on now have small tables. When the food is scooped onto the tables, they will grab it with their hands and eat it.
The two children like to eat by themselves. Although they eat slowly and get dirty, they are happy anyway.
Wen Zhenyi and Shen Hanxing whispered something, then stood up and walked out.
Chef Fan was dancing with excitement outside. When he turned around, he saw Wen Zhenyi looking at him with a smile: "Miss."
"Today's dishes tasted great. Just cook at this level from now on. I believe you can do it well."
"Thank you, Miss."
"You're going down to eat soon, no need to wait here."
Chef Fan seems to be bouncing when he walks.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head, then walked over to sit next to Shen Hanxing: “Husband, grandpa and grandma said they won’t come out to have the reunion dinner with us tomorrow, do you have any ideas?”
"Isn't their illness serious?"
"It's almost healed now, but I still have a runny nose. But no matter what we say, they won't come out and won't let us into the house."
"It wouldn't be appropriate to leave them in the house for the reunion tomorrow."
"That's right, but they are both very stubborn."
Shen Hanxing thought for a moment: "I remember that grandpa and grandma's yard was quite spacious."
“It’s quite spacious.”
"We put the New Year's Eve dinner in the yard, and they can see us by opening the window. It can be said that we are celebrating the New Year together."
"That seems to work, but it'll be cold eating in the yard. We need to prepare more charcoal braziers, otherwise we'll catch a cold easily."
"This isn't that complicated. Once the gate is closed, we can use tung oil cloth to build a roof over it. That way, we don't have to worry about snow or wind."
"That's a good idea. Looks like I'll have to ask Butler Huang to help me do it overnight."
"There are so many people in the mansion, we should be able to make it in time."
"By the way, I wonder if Mom and the others have prepared any gifts for the festival. I was so busy that I forgot about it."
"We've already sent it. We know you're stuck in the palace, so we've all remembered it. But there are quite a few people here giving gifts."
"Sent to my house?"
"Well, they were all sent by officials and royal relatives, and we don't know what to do with them yet."
"Send back anyone you don't know."
"I'm afraid this will offend a lot of people."
"Anyway, we'll leave after Xiaozhuang's wedding is over after the New Year."
"We are leaving, but these people in your house can't leave."
